The Business Dictionary describes a leader as someone who establishes a clear vision, then shares that vision with others so they will follow willingly. Someone who provides the information, knowledge, and methods to realize that vision. Someone who coordinates and balances the conflicting interests of all members and stakeholders. A leader steps up in times of crisis, and is able to think and act creatively in difficult solutions. This parallels precisely with the definition of a good real estate agent, and Hugh draws on experience to lead both his clients and his company towards success.
